Axially Chiral TADF Imidazolium Salts for Circularly Polarized Light-Emitting Electrochemical Cells.

A pair of axially chiral thermally activated delayed fluorescent (TADF) enantiomers, R-TCBN-ImEtPF6 and S-TCBN-ImEtPF6, with intrinsic ionic characteristics were efficiently synthesized by introducing imidazolium hexafluorophosphate to chiral TADF unit. The TADF imidazolium salts exhibited a high photoluminescence quantum yield (PLQY) of up to 92%, a small singlet-triplet energy gap (∆EST) of 0.04 eV, as well as reversible redox properties.

High-Viability Circulating Tumor Cells Sorting From Whole Blood at Single Cell Level Using Laser-Induced Forward Transfer-Assisted Microfiltration.

The efficient isolation and molecular analysis of circulating tumor cells (CTCs) from whole blood at single-cell level are crucial for understanding tumor metastasis and developing personalized treatments. The viability of isolated cells is the key prerequisite for the downstream molecular analysis, especially for RNA sequencing. This study develops a laser-induced forward transfer -assisted microfiltration system (LIFT-AMFS) for high-viability CTC enrichment and retrieval from whole blood.

Sub-micrometer LiPSCl regulated cathodic Li kinetics in sulfide based all-solid-state batteries.

The practical applications of all-solid-state batteries (ASSBs) are hindered by poor Li kinetics in electrodes due to the inadequate contact between the cathode active materials (CAMs) and solid-state electrolytes (SSEs). Therefore, improving the contact interface between CAMs and SSEs is necessary to improve the cathodic Li kinetics by increasing the lithium-ion transport sites. To address this issue, sub-micrometer LiPSCl (SU-LPSC) particles of high specific areas were utilized to fabricate cathodes with high mass loading.

Erythrocytapheresis as a strategy to manage anemia and iron overload in nondeletional hemoglobin H disease.

Hemoglobin H (HbH) disease is associated with anemia, ineffective erythropoiesis, and iron overload. We report a case of a patient with HbH/Hb Constant Spring disease, who was maintained on chronic transfusions as an adult due to symptomatic anemia. Over time, he developed iron overload and was started on chelation therapy but did not have an adequate response to chelation.

Lattice-Doped Ir Cooperating with Surface-Anchored IrO for Acidic Oxygen Evolution Reaction with Ultralow Ir Loading.

Reducing iridium (Ir) loading while maintaining efficiency and stability is crucial for the acidic oxygen evolution reaction (OER). In this study, we develop a synthetic method of sequential electrochemical deposition and high-temperature thermal shock to produce an IrO/Ir-WO electrocatalyst with ∼1.75 nm IrO nanoparticles anchoring on Ir-doped WO nanosheets.
